Boon’s view from here

Moving to London

LL and I are moving to London.

I am attempting to diversify my career into the area of Human-Computer Interaction, which I have grown more fond of over the last few years. So, I’m planning to pursue a HCI-E MSc at University College London for the 2008/09 year, and see how it goes from there.

To cut the long story short, the decision was made sometime around March. I kept things pretty low-key, and kept the news to a close circle of friends and family.

Since that time, we’ve been preparing ourselves mentally and looking through the necessary details of moving. LL and I asked ourselves a whole bunch of questions… and I think we’ve come to terms with our decision.

We’re both looking forward to the change.

Allowing ourselves to move to a new place is as much an exercise as letting the old place go. Still, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience we’ll find out for ourselves.

And I think that’s the best part about life, sometimes… looking at it as a journey rather than a destination.

I’ll be keeping this blog active through the changes. Stay tuned.

  1. Oh gosh! Boon! You’re moving to London! It’s really really sad to lose you in BT! I just want you to know that we wish you and your lovely wife all the best and would like to keep in touch! Take good care!

  2. That’s cool. I wish I can move out of the sick country one day too. Thumb up for your brilliant decision, Boon Yew.
